WHAT AN TO DO?
The symptoms of biliOnsness are un-
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A bilious man is seldom 4
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids OF a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; it it is not white and ferred,
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
OF order and dlarrhoea or constipation
may be- symptom, or the two may al
ternate There are often Hemmor-
srhOids or even loss of blood There
may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or tlatulence and tender
ness in the pit IF the stomach. Ia
correct all this, if not effect cure. try
Green's August Flower. it costs but a
trifie, and thousands attest its efficacy.

Conyicts OF Siberia.

The most interesting sight, and one of
the most painful, was the long lines of
convicts making their way to the settle
ments. When sitting at the post town
we would hear in the distance the clink,
clink, clink of the chains, and looking up
way " slowly along the road, preceded by
soldiers armed, the rear brought up by
wagons laden with the wives and children
of the unhappy exiles, who had elected to
share their fate. The children looked
happy enough and merry as the wagons
slowly crawled along the roads; and no
doubt they would not fare badly when
they came to their journeys end. They
were planted out as free colonists on far
more fertile land than they had left be-
hind in Russia. The sight, however, was
sad enough, and one of the most charac-
teristic of Siberia.-Hon. James Campbell

Great Number of nuaahistic Relics.

hurst throws some light Oh their history.
According to the Buddhists, there are S4,-
600 pores in mans body, and therefore
he leaves behind him $4,000 particles OF
miserable dust in the course Of transmi-

his body, but by his resistance TO evil he
was enabled to perfect S1,GC0 relics
through them, for which eight kin.;s con-
tended.
